Welcome to Oakville Improv! We’re a theatre company based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Our mission is to produce improvised comedy shows for the public in the town of Oakville.

Improvisation is a form of theatre where performers invent their dialogue and story as they go. It has been used on such TV shows as Whose Line Is It Anyway (which includes many classic games used for improv training), and in films like This Is Spinal Tap. Improv is highly collaborative – doing it well involves listening carefully to others and responding instantly and intuitively to each new development.

The founders of Oakville Improv have each been involved in improvisation for more than 25 years, using improv in numerous live shows, as well as in the development of scripted comedy and drama, including the TV series Train 48 (CanWest/Global), Corner Gas, History Bites, This Hour Has 22 Minutes,That’s So Weird, and MADtv. Our workshops offer the highest standard training in improvisation, taught by professionals in the field. Oakville Improv is also committed to developing and promoting improvisation as an art form, working on new styles of performance
